I was actually in the potion you described by someone I knew very well. When this person's face got close enough I slammed my head into his nose. I'm not sure if it was the pain or the shock that I was fighting back, but I had enough time to then knee him & push him off. It was an act of beating not rape that occurred. I'm not sure if I could have handled the situation the same way if I hadn't known the attacker...I think I would have been a lot more frightened.
Thanks again for giving us your wisdom. I can see why you were/are a leader. your men were very lucky guys.
